35)Howdy-Dowdy Corp just began business and made the following four inventory purchases in June:

June 1 150 units $ 1,040
June 10 200 units 1,560
June 15 200 units 1,680
       
$ 4,280


A physical count of merchandise inventory on June 30 reveals that there are 220 units on hand. Using the FIFO inventory method, the amount allocated to ending inventory for June is

a)$1,508  b)$1,836  c)$1,456  d)$1,824
Expert Solution
Step 1

It is given that the company uses the FIFO method (First in First out) which means the inventory which is purchased first will be sold first.

Hence ending inventory of 220 units belongs to the last purchases.

Computation of amount allocated to ending inventory for June is as follows:

200 units from June 15 purchase +20 units from June 10 purchase=$1680 +$1560200×20=$1680 +$156=$1836
